Hi all!
I organised a stall at a monthly market in a coastal town which attracts a lot of tourists. This market started in January this year after a haitus of 12 months - it previously ran for 7 years. Word is out that it is back on and I had my first stall there yesterday. Now, this is the first market I organised to attend on my own. I have previously had a small table at the back of my Mother's market stall (she sells jewellery) once before - different venue.
Well, I told my Mum about this market and before I could turn around she had organised to pay for the stall fee and take all her jewellery along to 'help me out'..... :roll: BTW - I am 48 and NOT living at home with her! Yes, she is bossy :wink: Life lesson learned here is to keep my mouth shut if I don't want her 'help'. On the up side I did get to borrow a table from her to use and her jewellery did attract in people....
Took a couple of pics of my table just before the market opened (that's Mum in the background of pic 2). I have read on here that average sales for a market is about 4 X stall fee, so I didn't get up to the average (did about 3 X). However I did make more sales in 'one go' than I have in a month before so I am happy
